Abilities

  • Has an area effect spell which makes her difficult to fight with a melee fighter(i.e Swordsman, Macer, Fencer). This "putrid nausea" attack slows down swing speed and casting time, so mages and archers should definitely stand at a distance.
  • Has a retinue of several (3?) evil satyrs.
  • Talks a scary smack talk.

Strategy

  • The Satyrs' discordance ability can severely weaken players, so at the beginning attack cautiously and control the situation. Using Energy Fields in the right places will help keep Lady Melisande at a distance, and allow the satyrs to be killed one by one. In a party with no mages, use other luring techniques.
  • BEST TACTIC: Have a Tamer wearing high resist armour with a Cu Sidhe taking damage and Mages try to keep the tamer alive and dispel the revenant if it is summoned. With this tactic she can be defeated by 3 players.
  • RICHWARF TACTIC: Use a Tamer(s) with a Greater Dragon(s) as they have a lot more HP. This works better with a tamer mage so s/he can heal with the mage as well. This tactic can be done solo but is harder. It is also thought 3+ tamers will make light work, just remember the more dragons present in the party, the faster Melisande can be defeated.

Keys

  • Requires a blessing from the Frightened Dryad to enter.
  • The Frightened Dryad will ask you to kill 12 Insane Dryads and 1 Saliva.
  • Insane Dryads will suddenly appear when you walk close to certain trees in Blighted Grove. It is always the same trees, but it seems to take quite a long time for the Insane Dryads to respawn.
  • Saliva is a blue named harpy, hidden inside a 'cave' inside the great tree.
  • Do it. She will give you a "Dryad's Blessing," which can be exchanged for the "Dryad's Curse" via the wicker basket near the Frightened Dryad.
  • The Dryad's Curse is your main key. Double click it to get you and your party into the Peerless Room and fight Lady Melisande.
